Summary

71% Informative

Travellers are worried or curious about everything from bed sizes and strange food to language problems and pickpockets.

Europe is a safe place, but there’s plenty of petty purse snatching and pickpocketing.

Don’t overtip a service charge is almost always included in a European restaurant bill.

If you’re sensitive to noise, don’t pay a premium for a room with a view — take a quiet room in the back instead (and pack earplugs) Cultural tourism happens in the streets as much as in museums.

In Germany , never cruise in the fast lane — use that just for passing.
